Silverwood Lake State Recreation Area is an expansive California state park that is centered around the natural water system of Silverwood Lake, which begins with rain and snowmelt collected at Lake Oroville and the Feather River Basin and spans through the 444-mile State Water Project area.

The recreation area, which is accessible for a nominal entrance fee, is a popular outdoor recreation destination for Los Angeles residents looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy activities such as hiking, fishing, and swimming. Multi-use trails throughout the recreation area are permitted for pedestrians, bikers, and horseback riders, with boat ramps and rentals offered for anglers looking to catch catfish, bass, trout, and bluegill. Mesa Campground offers family campsites, with group campsites located at several other areas throughout the park.
